Harley-Davidson: Race to the Rally (game)

[Lon]

Everyone's probably heard of the MotoGP games for PlayStation 2 and others, but... how many people knew this exists?

Experience the lifestyle, adventure and freedom of "Harley-Davidson" like never before in Harley-Davidson®: Race to the Rally where you will ride classic and late-model HD® bikes, fully upgrade your bike, and face outrageous road challenges. You will have to prove that you are worthy to be part of the "HD" brotherhood. Race across America from coast to coast exploring classic rides from Big Sur to the Florida Keys. It's time to grab the controller by the handlebars and roll!

I especially like the screenshot with a HD full dresser passing a truck at ~157mph.

Soundtrack that captures the attitude, essence and style of "Harley-Davidson" - George Thorogood, Heart, Poison, Great White

Where's the Elton John?

Note: This is not intended to be a cruiser-bash thread; I was just utterly amused by the idea of the game.  As the review stated (which I agree with):

The mystique around the Harley Davidson brand of motorcycles seems to revolve more around enjoying the journey, rather than getting to your destination as quickly as possible. So a Harley racing game probably doesn't even make that much sense in the first place.

Does your digital motorcycle come with a choice of digital pick-up truck to haul it in?

It's a slow race, right? Last one to the saloon wins?

Gamefaqs review, first paragraph (sounds like old technology type video-game...hmmmm)

Perhaps surprisingly, there haven't been that many Harley Davidson games released over the years. Unfortunately, the ones that have made it to store shelves have been dull, dry efforts. However, none have been so bland, ridiculous, and shoddily executed as Harley Davidson Race to the Rally. It's a terrible game in practically every way, and if you spend even three seconds reading the title of this game while perusing the shelves of your local game store, you've given this game too much of your time

Heard the game sucks and won't bother with it.
 
And I have a Harley Davidson!

I love the arcade game that's out there. The bike doesn't lean. To turn left, you steer the bars left. No countersteering. No wonder they crash so much -- they're starting on a poor trainer.

how many bars do you have to stop at to get DUI driving points or extra oil or chrome parts to make it to the next town/bar...

Warning: Harleys are bad for the ego and pocketbook..Helmet not included , but yes you get a free HD headrag which doubles as a oil rag or butt wipe ..
